Guitar Evaluation Work Sheet

Guitar Evaluation Work Sheet

Postby stringuy » Fri Jun 22, 2012 3:34 pm

Hi All,
Does anyone know of or have a "guitar evaluation work sheet" that might help a person compare guitars? I'm thinking it would have maybe items with a 1-10 rating or stars maybe. Major topics would be fit & finish, tuners, etc. I guess it would have tone, response, intonation categories even though very subjective, it would help if one person was comparing a couple of guitars to each other. Oh, would need a price column as well.

Thanks for your help. I can't tell y'all how much I've enjoyed this forum and how much I've learned. Keep up the good work and thanks for the help.

I think checking the compare features of Guitar Center and Musicians Friend might provide some insight.

Thanks Mr. C.
This would be useful and thank you. I was thinking more of this kind of situation: Maybe I'm at home and have 2 guitars I'm comparing to each other
and/or evaluating. I would like to take the labels and the advertising out of the equation. Not sure if someone new to guitars could pull this off even
with a worksheet, but I would like to take as many X's out of the equation as possible.

What worries me a little bit about comparing guitars is knowing what strings were on the instrument. I'm not even sure if a form would help a comparison between a $5,000 Thames and $300 Cordoba without some additional knowledge or criteria. I guess it would be difficult to compare
a spruce top instrument to a cedar top instrument as well.

Thanks for your reply and perspective. I may be completely off course. Might just come down down to what feels best and sounds best to the person
playing it and/or buying it.

Regards,
Jody
